Some cars appear more frequently on YouTube and social media as modified rockets than others. But with skill, can’t you put any engine or any other part into any car?
Actually, if trying to maximize performance, why not build from scratch? Why is “1,800hp GTR” more interesting or common than “1,800hp car built in garage”?

Why GTR, Supra, Evo (Basically Japanese sport cars) ?
In the 90s Japanese car makers agreed on not making cars too powerful with a limit set at 276hp. But they definitely anticipated/planned that people were going to mod the cars. So most of the parts were overbuilt (forged pistons for example) or easy to swap.
Japanese cars are also very reliable, which probably means most parts can endure more than just the standard use.
